Default pic request: 245 / 275 tire setup on stock wheels

Either there aren't many pics or I am not efficient with the search function....

Can anybody post some pics of their stock wheels with 245/35 and 275/30 tires? I'm thinking about going with wider tires and wanted to see how they would look.

I'll mostly likely get Dunlop DZ101s, so any pics of those would be great!

Thanks!

I'm running them. I went with the Vredesteins, pics here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...in-inside.html

The fit is perfect. No bulging and no rubbing (stock height). Supposedly Vredestiens run on the wide side too.

I have the same tires and sizes as crazy, and might I add that I am very happy with there performance...I'm lowered so as my springs settled they rub just the slightest bit.

I did some quick calcs and the 275/30 rear would be about 7mm smaller in radius than the stock tires. I'm concerned that the rears will look too "dinky" with the smaller rolling radius tires.

Any and all pics would help. Thanks.

Definitely not "dinky" if you can eyeball a 7mm difference (3.5mm top 3.5mm bottom) from standing next to a car I would be shocked.
